What are your plans for the car? If you plan to do power mods and a tune in the future, a boost gauge is definitely a good idea to start with. If you're planning on staying stock for a while, springs REALLY help the Evo look better IMO.

That said, I did springs first but only bc my gf bought them for me as a bday gift and I was waiting on power mods for the spring.

Even on a stock evo a boost gauge is very important. IMO, I would do it first over a set of springs.

Well what do you want to concentrate modding first? Power or handling?

I think a boost gauge, MBC, and a tune would be a killer setup and no one would know you weren't stock. Sleeper ftw.

Springs will help handling quite a bit, but just look around and see what does well on street cars. Get the alignment a couple weeks after you install them as well.

If you're gonna do the boost gauge, do yourself a favor and pick up a manual boost controller as well. They can be had easily for under $100, will smooth out your boost at higher RPMs quite nicely.

Edit> Almost forgot, Defi gauges ftw!
